Is it me or does this seem very cheap?

Not sure if this is Autumn pricing kicking in but comparatively this seems like a bargain? Alloys look like they need some attention but otherwise looks in reasonable nick.

I'm still a relative newbie so not sure how the market price fluctuates with the seasonality but noticing a lot more 'cheap' z4s compared to when I started my search earlier in the summer...

looks about right to me i wouldnt say its cheap.

An alloy refurb is over £300 for a proper job on 108's too

Prices are dropping off now but for the lowish miles & nav spec id say it was a fair price
A dealer would try it nearer £7k but private sale around £6k is on the money

Looks a bit top end if anything to me! Granted it is low miles but still a 11 yea old pre facelift car at the end of the day. I'd say you'd want that for around £5500

Condemming 11 year old cars ?
My son has been running a 12 year old Golf R32 for the last 12 months , 97k on now & not a single thing needs doing on it & it drives so well it could embarrass many newer cars .
Not long before a good number of Z4Ms will hit 10yr old should owners be looking to get rid as the dreaded 11th year looms

Already chatted to the owner about a week ago. Sounds like the alloys are totally shot and the sat nav don't work properly either. Sounds like a really nice bloke though and willing to make a deal. The car Is down in Windsor.

No ones condemning, simply stating facts, I sold my 12 year old e46 330ci last night for 3 grand over what WBAC offered! Just that value is sadly based on age in a lot of zed's now.

So you don't think a 60k 2004 3.0 Z with decent spec is worth £5750 becuase its 11 yrs old :?

Remind me of the differences between pre and post facelift?

I think it's worth £5500 like I said above. Based on the fact I work very closely with a Honda main dealer so access the latest glass guide figures on a daily basis.

complete different engine, newer bumpers, black interior plastics, the 3.0si features m sport seats, suspension, steering wheel etc.

They're no better a guide to values for private sales than WBAC
We've seen time over year in year out early 3.0s go between £4k & £7k dependent on seasonal change + the usual used car criteria
Location , advert construction & car presentation can add or reduce value which i doubt either of the above take into consideration

 

[jamie_z4]

Ok mate you obviously know a lot more than I do.

Just healthy debate Tom , after your "+1 " comment feel free to chip in with your thoughts on 11 year old Z4s

 

[tomscott]

The point of my comment is its cheap because its 11 years old... but obviously you missed that

 

[mr wilks]

:? :?

Ahhhh , sorry , totally lost now assumed when Jamie said it was expensive for a 11yr old Z4 you thought the same with the +1 comment :?

Autographed have something where you can setup your car details for mot and tax date reminders. Also gives value of car based on what cars are selling for. What's handy is you can add other cars and get values back, based on the age and mileage. I found it pretty accurate for what I felt cars were worth when looking recently at various models.
